    I'm pretty happy with it. A little more mid range grunt, for overtaking etc would not go amiss, but I think it's a pretty good blend of performance and economy.

    If you rev it, it does like to be revved, then it does go very well.

    You will find a lot of mixed opinion over the VVt lump on here!

    Having driven other VVT engines in the past, I am impressed with the power that they can achieve over NA lumps of the same saize.
    Not had a go in the 1.8 Vx engine but who knows, might have a trip to the local stealers for some 'play time'

    do the airbox mod, takes the flatspot out, well it did on mine,lol and go for a K&N panel filter too, makes it seem a bit more nippier

    the airbox mod will sort that out.
    I am still running the original filter, not a K&N or likewise but the airbox mod alone helps the engine breath better and gets rid of the flatspot.
